Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef sirloin tips to the skillet in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary, and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the onions, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Return the beef tips to the skillet. Add the beef broth, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), dried thyme, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes until the beef is tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
Uncover the skillet, and slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the beef mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Increase the heat slightly and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the dairy-free beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite grain, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
